Overseas Workers Welfare Administration(OWWA)

January 25, 2022 Dear Ms. Maria Lyndell Cultura, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jan 25, 2022 03:39:08 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for data/number of OFW with children left in the Philippines. Ms. Maria Lyndell Cultura the information you request cannot be provided by OWWA. If you want to get the total number of OFWs with children left behind you must use secondary data from both published and unpublished reports. You have to be a good statistician to extract the data from the public files of the Phil. Statistic Authority. Hence, I suggest that you limit your population of OFWs in a particular city or Municipality. The LGUs collect monthly report of population of household. There are information of the number of household with OFWs. Combine this with the data of the age of household members. Good luck in your undergraduate study/research. If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac at email: [email protected]. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response and should be made within FIFTEEN (15) calendar days from the date you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within THIRTY (30) calendar days from the date we received your review request. However, if you are still not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Office of the President under Administrative Order No. 22 (s. 2011). Thank you. Respectfully, ATTY. EDELYN D. CLAUSTRO Director IV- Administrative and Financial Management Office OWWA-FOI Decision Maker
